Speaking to The New York Times, Couric revealed that she believes she was "overly ambitious" during her time on the program and would do things differently if able to repeat the experience.

"I would have given people what they were used to, a traditional newscast," she explained. "And then as they got to know me and got more comfortable, then I would've started toying with the format and trying new things.

"I think we were overly ambitious. We probably would have been better off playing it a little safer."
